(CNN) There's a new person holding the title for oldest in the United States. Brown told WJW-TV in 2015, when she was turning 111, that she was able to live so long because God blessed her. Seven of the world's oldest people live in the United States, Young said. Young said the Gerontology Research Group starts tracking people when they turn 108. The United States also doesn't have a federal or central database on the world's supercentenarians or centenarians.
